WHY DR. ALBORZI THINKS YOU’RE A PERFECT CANDIDATE Invisalign for All!
One of the most common questions we receive at our office is “Can Invisalign do the same job as braces?” This question arises when a patient has visited another orthodontist who tells them they are not a good candidate for Invisalign and would have a much more efficient and better treatment experience by going the braces route. However, Dr. Alborzi firmly believes 99% of patients who come to our office are perfect candidates for Invisalign. Any tool is dependent on the user. If the user has ample experience, training, and knowledge, they can use the tool much more efficiently. An amateur craftsman may blame their tools when they cannot complete a project on time or when the finished product looks much worse than initially imagined. An expert craftsman will stand by their work, knowing they have the experience to complete the project precisely as envisioned. Invisalign is no different. Because of Dr. Alborzi’s experience, training, and knowledge, she can help 99% of patients with Invisalign treatment, even if another office has already told them they are a poor candidate.
So, what’s the difference between getting Invisalign versus
traditional braces? It all comes down to the idea of fixed versus removable appliances. When you get traditional braces, they don’t come off until the treatment is completed. With Invisalign aligners, you can remove them whenever you have to eat or brush your teeth. That said, you’ll still be in your Invisalign aligners for 20–22 hours daily. If you’re wondering about the 1% of cases where Invisalign isn’t the best option, most of these situations involve a lot of root movement. Invisalign aligners aren’t entirely useless in these cases, but treatment will take much longer than traditional braces. However, if the patient is dead set on getting aligners, we can usually find a way to combine braces and Invisalign in their treatment plan.
